The transport of proteins between various compartments of the secretory pathway occurs by the budding of vesicles from one membrane and their fusion with another. A key event in this process is the selective recognition of the target membrane by the vesicle and the current view is that SNARE protein interactions likely play a central role in vesicle-target recognition and or membrane fusion. In yeast, only a single syntaxin (Sed5p) is required for Golgi transport and Sed5p is known to bind to at least 7 SNARE proteins. However, the number of Sed5p-containing SNARE complexes that exist in cells is not known. In this study we examined direct pair-wise interactions between full length soluble recombinant forms of SNAREs (Sed5p, Sft1p, Ykt6p, Vti1p, Gos1p, Sec22p, Bos1p, and Bet1p) involved in ER-Golgi and intra-Golgi membrane trafficking. In the binding assay that we describe here the majority of SNARE-binary interactions tested were positive, indicating that SNARE-SNARE interactions although promiscuous are not entirely non-selective. Interactions between a number of the genes encoding these SNAREs are consistent with our binding data and taken together our results suggest that functionally redundant Golgi SNARE-complexes exist in yeast. In particular, over-expression of Bet1p (a SNARE required for ER-Golgi and Golgi-ER traffic) and can bypass the requirement for the otherwise essential SNARE Sft1p (required for intra-Golgi traffic), suggesting that Bet1p either functions in a parallel pathway with Sft1p or can be incorporated into SNARE-complexes in place of Sftp1. None-the-less this result suggests that Bet1p can participate in two distinct trafficking steps, cycling between the ER and Golgi as well as in retrograde intra-Golgi traffic. In addition, suppressor genetics together with the analysis of the phenotypes of conditional mutations in Sft1p and Ykt6p, are consistent with a role for these SNAREs in more than one trafficking step. We propose that different combinations of SNAREs form complexes with Sed5p and are required for multiple steps in ER-Golgi and intra-Golgi vesicular traffic. And that the apparent promiscuity of SNARE-SNARE binding interactions, together with the requirement for some SNAREs in more than one trafficking step, supports the view that the specificity of vesicle fusion events cannot be explained solely on the basis of SNARE-SNARE interactions.
